My pet Sturgeon

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Very cool! Congrats on the awesome save. Lets hear some more about your buddys pond and your plans. More pics as well.
Do you have any pics of their old home and move?
 
Rangen and Silvercup is what i feed them. They are both excellent and the feed is made for carnivore diets. Rangen is located in Idaho. Silvercup is located in Utah. they both make sinking pellets up to 10mm specifically for Sturgeon. Its about 80 cents a lb plus shipping.
The pond is literally a spring fed farm pond but the fish LOVE IT! It has a silty bottom and they root around in the mud all the time. My computer with my pictures is getting repaired but as soon as i get it back i will post pictures of moving them. And i live in town Modest, but my fish are up the road in Beavercreek.
 
Yes, we will have to manipulate their water temp to get the gonadal development to the right stage. then we will inject them with a synthetic hormone and within 24 to 48 hours harvest the eggs and milt and put them in an incubator. All the breeding and raising will be artificial. I will try to harvest the eggs by milking but might possibly have to remove them through MIST(minimally invasive surgical technique)
